He shouldn't have been up there at all. Do the medals and the hand shakes...and then get the f*** off the stage.
For those who know football history... we might see another Menotti 1978 moment next year. Would love it.
I'd love it if it were to happen again that the winning captain shoves President Diapers off the stage. I'm happy about this. Got it done in time for him to join in on the US preseason tour. Might feel a little expensive but the dude scored 20 goals with 7 assists in the Premier League and is still only 25. Having him and Cunha at the 10s is going to be a massive improvement over the sh*tshow that was last season. Even if we don't improve at the 9, I'm confident these 2 create more goals naturally.
Expensive signing, but we desperately needed a new winger and he was the main target for Kompany. Offense still looks great, if everybody would just find a way to stay healthy.
@Raz What's your thoughts on Sesko? You've seen him way more than I have. Not sure he's worth what Newcastle and United are offering but he would have to be an upgrade on Hojlund and Zirkzee who are just not good enough. The highlights I've see show him to have a good touch and good instincts...but he doesn't seem to score as much as you'd want someone whos in the Bundesliga maybe coming to the PL.
Huge potential, but just like Leipzig in general wasn't quite consistent last year. Haaland-like type, fast but also sturdy. I think he would best fit with a counter-attacking team due to his athleticism, not sure if he would suceed in a team like Bayern where 95% of the time the opponent parks the bus. Wouldn't pay 80-90M€ for him, but on the other side that's today's market.
And it looks like he's basically ours. From what little I've seen, I agree with your assessment and I think he will fit this system well as they want to counter and run from the back. If he can play with his back to goal and then hit the space, it should work well. Additionally, we've not had someone that can win crosses and corners (other than Harry Maguire). Sesko can get in the air. Still not sure of the price but he should definitely be an improvement over the crap we currently have. This is strange to me. Not that he's coming to the MLS...but to a team that is well known for being one of the biggest s*** shows in the league. Bad ownership. A terrible stadium with a poor pitch. He could've had his pick of cities. Vancouver itself is very nice...so maybe that's all he needed.
My guess is Müller is just not made for the bright city lights, which is why he declined Bayern's partner club in L.A. (Bayern pushed for him to sign there). He enjoys the mountains and horse breeding, his wife is a professional in horseback riding, so I guess they are not wrong to move to Vancouver. And maybe, just maybe, not having to live in the U.S. is an extra bonus.
